Session 3 – Open Badges in Higher Education

During the 8 weeks of this MOOC session we will discuss a range of key issues around Open Badge in Higher Education, including use cases, quality assurance, alignment with competency frameworks and policies on higher and open education in Europe and beyond. There will be plenty of examples from practice and interactive activities in which participants can share their ideas and opinions. We have also invited a number of superb guest speakers to share their insights on Open Badges in Higher Education in the four webinars, which will open each of the four modules of the session.
